UP TOWN.
THE IMPROVEMENTS on NORTH MAIN
STREET LOOMING Up
New Residences Being Built and Old Ones Improved.
The New Washington School Building
and the Pottery Plant

While other parts of the city have been
improving right along, no section shows .
more decided improvement than North
Main street. Old tumble-down houses
are giving place to neat brick and frame
residences, and other dwellings are being
repainted and otherwise brig htened up, and
with the brick pavement it is now one OF
the handsomest portions of the city.
The new Washington school building
will, when completed, greatly add to the
appearance of that end Of the city, and
will be a credit to Wheeling generally,
combining as it does beautiful architec-
ture, convenient arrangement, and, most
important of all, substantially; and it is
very likely that no one will have chance
to kick on the strength OF the building for
the next forty or fifty years.
The building is now being put under
roof in very rapid manner, under the
direction of Superintendent Ed Wells,
who is also the architect OF the bulldog.
Three weeks ago there was not even sign
of cornice on the walls, and now every
thing is about ready for the skaters to
finish, and they have already commenced
work and are making good Roadway. 1t
is expected that the roof will be en-
tirely completed in week or ten days,
when the work Of plastering will be COM
menced.
Mr.. PEBBLES, the expert architect from
Pittsburg, was in the city few days
since and looked through the new building,
expressing himself very highly pleased
with its design and the workmanship upon
it. He said building such Us that could
not ne put up in Pittsburg for less than
$50, 600 at the least estimate.
When completed, there will be no finer,
more complete, handsomer, or more sub
stantial educational pile Of stone, brick,
mortar and timber than Washington
school in the city, and none that Will be
easier to vacste in case OF ti:e. The tower
is handsome piece OF work and reaches
lar towards the sky, while all the tnrrets
and ornaments surrounding the building
are of the most beautiful designs, adding
to the elegance OF the structure on every
hand. The from: turret will be sur
mounted by the figure OF boy holding q
lamp of knowledge aloft, which will be
made of galvanized iron. The weather
mss been most prOpitious for building pur,
poses and not more than three days have
been lost on the work on account OF
rain, ard Superintendent Wells is pushing
it harder than ever.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

Where the Fest Decorations for This Seces
s7ry Adjunct Can be Found.
A Christmas without a Christmas tree
would he sorry affair, as far - the little
ones are concerned. For many generations,
aud in all countries, the brilliantly illu-
minated and gaily decorated branch Of

entering iuto this most joyous holiday
season OF the year, and a. this TACT is gen
orally recognized, it is q matter OF some
moment 10 ascertain where the most COM
plete aSsor' ment of articles suitable for the
decoration of the tree can be found.
An enquiring reporter preached this
subject 10 friend yesterday, and in re-
spouse received the somewhat curt advice :
go and see George l.. burst"
The reporter did so, and was glad.
"Yes, sir, said Mr. burst, There is no
doubt but that have the largest and most
complete assortment of Christmas tree Or
naments ever brought to Wheeling They
comprise everything suitable for this spe.
cies of decoration, and many of the selec.
tons ere entirely unique. took good
deal OF pains with this branch of my holi-
day stock, and can safely say it has never
been approached, either in desirability or
price in this city. Every one can be suited,
either in taste or purse. Bnt want TO i'm
press one thing on your mind. Large as
seems the stock, the demand which has
get in will soon result in its being carried
of, and would advise all purchasers to
make their selections while the assortment
is practically unbrokcn."
This is good advice all through, and
those who are interested should act accord
ingly.
Mr.. Durst's pure candies are being wide
ly appreciated, and the holiday demand is
simply immense. He has also received
about one thousand pounds of the best
fruit cake ever brought to Wheeling

listened to it. The Doctors topic per-
tanned to the early settlement OF our cOun-

IN STATU QUO.
NO CHANGE IN THE PENDING GLASS
TROUBLE.
The Reply Of the Workers Committee Not let Con-
adsrsi by he Msnutsctursrs-A!lsged
Contents Of the Document

According TO last evenings Pittsburg
papers, the reply of the glass workers to
the action of the manufacturers, has not
yet received any consideration from the
executive committee of the last named par
ties to the pending misunderstanding, and
action will, in all probability, be delayed
several days No session Of the manufae-
turers' committee was held yesterday, but
on the contrary, President Smith, OF the
glass makers Union, received communi-
catian from Chairman Jones, Of the manu-
facturers' committee, stating that the
workers reply had beea received too late
for consideration by the committee, but
that it would be acted upon as soon as
meeting Of the committee could be Sc
cured.
Little is definitely Known, either IN
Pittsburg or this city, of the actual con-
tents of the reply Of the glass workers to
the manufacturers rules and wage list. A
copy OF tho document is in the hands OF
Mr.. c. w. Brockunier, a member of the
manufacturers Executive Committee, but
that gentleman, as matter of course, will
not divulge the contents at present.
Various statements purportiDg to be alb
stracts of the paper, have been published,
but how accurate they are is matter OF
much doubt. 1t is believed, however, that
the W rkmen insist upon the absolute
withdrawal OF the second rule, claiming
that It's object is the destruction OF the
union. This rule reads as follows:
Employers or employees must not dis
criminate for or against any individual,
because he or she is, or is not, member OF
any organization
1t is also stated that the reply asks for
an advance of A per cent in the wages OF
gatherers.
In discussing the terms OF the reply,
yesterdays Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph
said: "The workers in their reply, it is
understood, insist upon arbitration "a a
means of settling the broken glass question.
They also call the attention OF the manu-
facturers TO their breach in making public
| their ultimatum, as it seems TO be, before
the same was presented TO the workers
committee. 1t 10 understood that the
workers lave dropped the broken glass
question as the main issue of the strike,
and taken up the tight Ga the action Of the
manufacturers in preparing scale them
selvea."
1t is said the Eastern glass manutactur'
ers will meet in New York to-day, and
that important action relative TO the exist
ing difficulties will he taken. The Union
has received assurances of moral supper;
and $40 COO in cash from the Plttsburg
Federation of Trades, and II is alleged tina,
ctiers of free land, free Gas and good cish
bonuses have been received from FostoIia,
O.. Bellaire, and Portland, Iud., Tor the
establishment of cooperative factories in
those places. -

miscellaneous LABOR Notes.

The LaBellc factory is running along
steadily, with several cold machines laid
of.
The Belaire steel workers have com
pleted their scale and will present it to the
manufacturers some time next week. 1t
is thought it will not be signed at once
and the plant will close down about two
months.
1t begins TO look as if the nail mauufac-
turers were about TO proceed TO reduce the
wages of naiIers again. Since the long
strike and the big reduction they have not
been given more than about One-;Ourth
work, and another reduction To follow this
looks like grinding because they can

there is only one bank in the city at the

\ SICK GIRLS TRIP.

She IL Found Wandering About the Streets
10y OniCer.
While Officer John Shorts, 81 the Mar
ket street beat, Vas going over his route,
about two o'clock yesterday morniaP, his
attention was attracted TO "A young girl
who had come down Twelfth stieot
from Chapline. Size had hGadlc under
her arm, and walked az though she was
about exhausted The officer approached
her, and asked her who she was and where
she belonged. The girl, WHO was so weak
she could scarc"ly stand, SAIL hhc lived in
East Wheeling, but had become lost. She
was very thin!y clad, and WAS suffering
from the cold and damp. Shorts endeay-
ored 10 get some information from her, but
she seemed 20 be dazed and could not even
recognize the buildings about Twelfth and
Market streets, saying she had never seen
them. Finally, after a searching look at
the officer, she said: "Oh, know you.
You were at our house when tn" boys were
bothcting rs" After ranSaCking his
recollection, Shorts remembered calling at
a house in the East End, Halloween night,
and telling the girl he would take her
home, started of with her. The trip was
pretty slow one, but the couple finally
reached the house. and the office: opened
the door and lei the girl into a
bed room where dim
light was burning. 4 sister
ofthe girl was lying asleep in bed, aud the
couch showed that another sleeper had left
it sometime in the night. The sleeping
girl was aroused, and was naturally almoet
startled to death 10 find her sister in the
company OF an officer. When she could
recover her presence Of mind, the girl who
had been awakened said her sister had
been confined TO her bed with lung fever
for two weeks, and had been very iii. She
had been watching and waiting upon her,
but becoming exhausted in the early part
of the night, she had lain down in bed and
dropped into Lound sleep. While asleep
the sick girl had got out OF bed, and being
slightly delrious, had put on calico dress
and wrapper and taking bundle Of cloth
ing under her arm had gone out on the
street, imagining she had TO attend to some
washing. She had wandered about the
streets for several hours, and Vas about ex-
hausted when found by the officer. The
experience OF the invalid, it is feared, will
seriously Complicate the disease.
